The Jurassic World soft reboot is still underway, and it's sounding like it might be opting for a cast member that could prove popular. Back in February, Star Wars: Rogue One director Gareth Edwards was tapped to direct the as-of-yet untitled Jurassic World soft reboot, but it hadn't quite found its cast just yet. Now, though, it sounds like casting is ramping up, with Scarlet Johansson having been reported to be in talks to join the Universal project last month. As reported by Deadline, up next in early talks to join the project is Jonathon Bailey, the English actor best known for his role as Anthony, Viscount Bridgerton in the immensely popular Netflix ******* drama Bridgerton. The actor is still yet to be fully locked-in, so you'll have to wait for an official announcement. After all, Deadpool 2 director David Leitch was reportedly initially eyed up as a potential director, though it ultimately went to Edwards due to creative differences between Universal and Leitch, so it's entirely possible talks with Bailey will fall through too. Outside of that, the upcoming sequel is also bringing back the original film's writer, David Koepp, who wrote both the 1993 Jurassic Park, and its 1997 sequel The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

I'm gonna cut to the chase here. A streamer's just beaten Elden Ring - including my buddy and yours Malenia - using button-operated morse code. As with asll these kinds of challenge runs, it's an incredibly impressive feat, and will no doubt leave you utterly devastated about how terrible you are at video games in comparison. Sure, we've still got a little bit of time to go before the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC drops and you get to really remind yourself just how useless you can be at Fromsoftware's array of 'here's a big scary person/thing, now slap or ****** stuff at them until they fall over' masterpieces. But, hey, you might as well start getting that out of the way now. Meet streamer Silithur, who's going to help you do just that. They've just finished off a run through Elden Ring which saw them use morse code toi control their character, via a very fun big red button.

Originally released in 2017 as a free-to-play game, the 5v5 hero shooter and MOBA hybrid Gigantic has become a cult classic of sorts, changing up the hero shooter format by combining it with MOBA elements to create a legitimately unique experience, even when compared to later competitors like Overwatch and Valorant. Splitting matches into two phases - an objective based, familiarly King of the Hill-esque phase followed by a more MOBA-inspired space-control Rampage phase - was novel, and nothing has been similar since. When Gigantic was shuttered by Gearbox in 2018, it was a loss for the genre and fans of the game made their feelings clear online that it was sorely missed - that was, until its eventual relaunch.

The shift to Windows 11 naturally left some older processors behind, which is no surprise given the operating system's requirements, but owners of some Intel CPUs have been oddly left unsupported by Microsoft for the past two years. Thankfully, the issues preventing owners of 11th Gen Core chips from leaving Windows 10 behind have been seemingly quashed but have strangely taken far longer than expected.

New twinstick-shooter action-roguelite Rightfully, Beary Arms forges ahead in its Early Access lifespan with the recent update "Claws & Paws," but it’s still a hard game to parse at the best of times. From its grating title to its ungainly gameplay, it never situates successfully within the sizable genre it shares. At this stage of Rightfully, Beary Arms' development, Boston-based Daylight Basement Studio’s debut is left grasping at straws. View the full article

The new v50 update for Lethal Company introduces an ****** called Tulip Snakes, but how can you handle and deal with them? You may be surprised to find out that they’re not your typical ******.Lethal Company: How to handle Tulip SnakesTulip Snakes are small flying entities that show up during the daytime outside of a facility. Luckily, Tulip Snakes can’t harm you, but they can latch onto you and lift you into the air. After about 10 seconds they’ll drop you, leaving you to take a good amount of fall damage. You can deal with Tulip Snakes in Lethal Company by hitting them with a shovel or throwing a stun grenade. Tulip Snakes will most likely spawn on moons such as Adamance, Assurance, and March. Although they can’t hurt you, they can still leave you to take fall damage once they drop you. It seems like the more weight you’re carrying the heavier you are, and if at least two latch onto you you can use them sort of like a jetpack!Just be carefu...View the full article

Few cards have dominated the conversation across multiple Yu-Gi-Oh! metas like Maxx “C.” And now, Konami might have finally decided to print another version of the ****** to combat its high usage in certain areas of the card game. Multchummy Purulia is a new Level Four Water Monster that was recently shown for the upcoming Yu-Gi-Oh! set The Infinite Forbidden, which won’t be released in the TCG until July. That isn’t a big deal in this case, however, since this card is more important for the ********* OCG format to see how it stacks up against the Yu-Gi-Oh! meta staple Maxx “C”—which has been banned in the TCG since February 2018.

If you've watched all of Amazon's Fallout TV show by now, odds are you're either on the verge of - or already have - hopped back into one of the games in the series. You're certainly not alone in the regard, but if you've picked Fallout 4 on Xbox specifically, you might have run into the small problem of achievements just not unlocking. Yup, while it arguably feels like the vast majority of the architecture, gear, and items featured in the show - alongside all those other references, easter eggs, and cameos - are specifically designed to get you to head back to Boston, Boston's not tready to reward you for coming back. As a number of folks who've decided to emerge from Vault 111 again have been reporting (thanks, TrueAchievements), Fallout 4's achievements on Xbox aren't doing what they should be. It seems like this has been an issue since the final days of March, since which point, the poor Sole Survivors on Microsoft's console haven't been able to be thanked for doing things like saving Preston Garvey, or playing Atomic Command on their Pip-Boy.

We called it “a wholesome, handcrafted adventure with plenty of heart.” Tomorrow, April 17, ****** Entertainment’s Orcs Must ****! 3 (Cloud, Console, and PC) hits Game Pass. Orcs Must ****! 3 got a 7/10 in IGN’s review. We said it was “very familiar to players of the second game but still a fun and goofy action/tower-defense challenge.” A day later, on April 18, EA Sports NHL 24 (Console) launches on Game Pass Ultimate via EA Play, just in time for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. “NHL 24’s new gameplay features reinvigorate the on-ice action, but its collection of unimproved game modes has grown increasingly boring with each passing year,” we said in IGN’s NHL 24 review. Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (Cloud, Console, and PC) hits Game Pass as a day-one launch on April 23. Rabbit & Bear’s grand JRPG is set in a hand-crafted 2.5D world, and lets you assemble a six-party team from a cast of over a hundred heroes.

You play Kril the hermit crab. April 26 sees the launch of Slavic Magic's Manor Lords (Game Preview) (PC) as a day-one Game Pass release. Manor Lords is a medieval strategy game featuring in-depth city building, large-scale tactical battles, and complex economic and social simulations. It’s the top wishlisted game on Steam, ahead of the likes of Hades 2 and Hollow Knight: Silksong. And finally, rounding out this month is Magic Design Studios' Have A Nice ****** (Cloud, Console, and PC), which hits Game Pass on April 30. IGN gave Have A Nice ****** an 8/10 in our review: "Have a Nice ****** is a punishing but satisfying roguelike with some extremely tough boss fights, but it could be a bit less stingy with long-term progression."

Nintendo has announced the first Indie World Showcase for 2024. The digital showcase airs tomorrow, April 17, at 7am PT / 10am ET. New #IndieWorld Showcase incoming! Tune in tomorrow, 4/17 at 7am PT for roughly 20 minutes of announcements and updates on indie games headed to #NintendoSwitch in 2024. Watch live here: [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] — Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) April 16, 2024 As with previous Indie World Showcases, the event will be roughly 20 minutes and will feature news and updates focused on indie games heading to the Nintendo Switch. The last Nintendo Indie World Showcase was held in November; some of the announcements from that event included a Switch port of Outer Wilds, Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution, and On Your Tail. Though Nintendo did not tease or specify which indie games would appear this time around, many fans hope that Team Cherry will finally unveil a release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong. Silksong, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2017 game Hollow Knight, was announced back in 2019, but in the years since, Team Cherry has provided minimal updates on when fans can expect the project to release. Last year, Nintendo had a presence at Gamescom, where the company reportedly revealed and demoed a successor to the Nintendo Switch behind closed doors. Though Nintendo has yet to announce a successor to the Switch, rumors suggest the new hardware has been delayed until next year. Taylor is a Reporter at IGN.

The boss of Pocketpair has accused ******** game companies of making Palworld clones, saying: “These are incredible times.” In a tweet translated by Automaton, Takuro Mizobe, CEO of PocketPair, published a screenshot of a mobile and PC game called Auroria, alongside the following statement: “Tencent is already making a Palworld clone game! In China, many companies are simultaneously developing mobile clones of Palworld, and the budgets are in the 10 billion yen-range, 10 times larger than Palworld’s... Next year, we might see many Genshin Impact-level creature (or bishojo) raising games... These are incredible times.” テンセントが早速パルワールドのクローンゲーム作ってる！ 中国では各社が一斉にパルワールドのモバイル向けクローンを開発していて、しかも予算規模はパルワールドの10倍の100億円級・・・ 来年は原神クオリティのモンスター（または美少女）育成ゲームが大量にリリースされそう・・・ すごい時代 [Hidden Content] — Takuro Mizobe | Palworld (@urokuta_ja) April 16, 2024 Auroria, which has a Steam page as well as mobile store pages, is developed by ******** studio Tianjin Wumai Technology Co., Ltd. According to its description, Auroria is an open-world, multiplayer, and cooperative sandbox game in which you design a base, “survive with your pals,” and start your own interstellar travel “in a relaxed and fun way.” Auroria sounds and, based on screenshots and trailers, looks a lot like Palworld but in a space setting. It’s set for release at some point during the second quarter of 2024, so by the end of June. According to Automaton, Auroria is published by HK Hero Entertainment Co., Limited, and Tencent. Tencent, namechecked by Mizobe in his statement, is reportedly working on a Palword-style mobile game, but it’s not the only one. NetEase Games’ Once Human has also been compared to Palworld. This is all part of a reported drive for fresh hits as existing cash cows lose their luster. As for Pocketpair, it was of course accused of “ripping off” Pokémon with Palworld, which is often described as “Pokémon with guns.” Palworld launched in January and overnight became one of the biggest games in the world, setting records not only on Steam but on Xbox Game Pass, where it is the biggest third-party game launch ever. So far, the $30 ‘Pokémon with guns’ game has seen an incredible 25 million players, with 15 million copies sold on Steam and 10 million players on Xbox. Mizobe has said the company couldn’t handle the massive profits Palworld has generated. While Palworld is one of the biggest game launches ever, it’s also one of the most controversial. Pocketpair has said its staff has received ****** threats amid the Pokémon "rip-off" claims, which it has denied. Soon after launch, Nintendo moved quickly to remove an eye-catching Pokémon mod, then The Pokemon Company issued a statement, saying: "We intend to investigate and take appropriate measures to address any acts that infringe on intellectual property rights related to Pokémon." IGN asked lawyers whether Nintendo could successfully sue. Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.
